Reddish South railway station

Reddish South is a station in Reddish, Stockport, England, on the Stockport-Stalybridge Line, famous for having only one train a week in one direction. This means it is technically still open.

A single track serves a single, bare, platform.

The Station is a request stop

In theory prospective passengers must flag down the train, as it approaches the station. However in practice the train usually stops at every stations, regardless of whether there are passengers waiting.

Northern Rail, who officially manage the station, do not include the station on their website.

[edit] Service

The only service:

The 11:28 Saturday Only service to Stalybridge calling at Denton, Guide Bridge and Stalybridge.

[edit] Closure

Network Rail, in their Route Utilisation Strategy (RUS) for the North West, have proposed closure of Reddish South and Denton stations and withdrawal of the remaining passenger service. The line itself would remain open for freight and diverted passenger workings. However, a new open-access operator called Grand Union has proposed using the line for services between London and Bradford via the West Coast Main Line, using Guide Bridge station as a stop.
